He was a great demonstration shooter and advocate.
I met him, and he seemed to have all day to sign autographs for my son and talk to him about shooting. It was about 25 degrees and snowing, he had no cold weather gear, but the demonstration for CZ went on as scheduled.
Ran into him at SHOT this year, chatted a bit and he seemed fine.
RIP, Tom, and a big thank you from my family and me.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
